Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We have witnesses here we're definitely going to want to hear from, so I'm going to suggest that we go back to them.
Just before that, I appreciate that the member opposite talked about the upcoming Thanksgiving day, because it gives me a chance to highlight the fact that next week Canadians will be receiving the carbon rebate wherever the federal backstop applies. With that, they will be seeing for the first time the doubling of the rural top-up on that payment, so I recommend that they look in their accounts. It'll be a direct deposit or they'll get a cheque.
The carbon rebate is part of the carbon pricing system, which the Conservatives apparently are suggesting that we scrap, never mind the fact that carbon pricing, as I mentioned at the very beginning, is the most efficient. When I say “efficient”, it's the cheapest way of dealing with emissions. That is supported by so many economists who back us up on that. There may be other pathways to do it, not that the Conservatives have suggested a single other path they would use to do it, but I will say that the challenge is that it's an efficient system. I would fully support it.
However, I would like to suggest that, since we do have witnesses here and I would really like to be able to ask them some more questions, we adjourn the debate on this motion.
